[mustang ll 4 me]

The only transmission that is an absolute bolt-in is the RAD4 4-spd transmission.

T5 transmissions from later Mustangs can be made to fit with a little work.

Mustang II Network - T5 Transmission Swap <--- Nice write-up on a T5 swap.

Other options include earlier Ford top-loader transmissions, I've heard of a few people doing them, but haven't seen a write-up on it or good pictures.

so corect me if i am wrong if i use my 77 302 and a t-5 tranny i can use my original clutch,bellhousing and flywheel let me know if that sounds right thanks tim

Yeah, the guy who wrote that article used the originall MII bell, clutch, flywheel...

He had to have some modifications made to the tranny and make a few to the car though, not to mention the pilot bearing and driveshaft.


It's a lot of work... I'm just glad my car has a C4... reliable, fits right, and I can leave my left foot resting on the floorboard so I don't have to drive with my left knee crammed between the armrest and steering wheel (these little IIs don't have enough legroom for a big fella like me with a stickshift... part of the reason I sold my '74 and bought my '76.
